It makes me shudder to think that A&B Council tried to shut our school in Minard, condemning the kids to a miserable “lunch” as well as the disadvantages of a factory-farm style education. I’m SO glad we fought the closure proposals tooth and nail, and won.

Comparing them to Tesco, Coop, milk lorries is silly. These vehicles transport cargo of intrinsic value which we all require, food. Neither do they require police escorts, so they don’t waste valuable police time.

Campbeltown rumours about Wind Towers declared unfoundedOn the other hand, if the rumours ARE true, then it is also good news.

Shudder.
